The Top Ten Ballet Schools of 2023-2024

When A Ballet Education first began publishing a list of the ten most sought-after ballet schools in 2014, the intent was simply to inform my opinion given the context of the current season; however, I have not published a Big Ten list since 2018 due to how much backlash I received each year. Company directors, competition directors, professional dancers (offended that their alma mater didn't make the list), and the ballet world in general said, "Who is he to decide?"
